The Dessert

Located at Konditori within the Bugis area, this place features a great selection of European-inspired artisanal pastries and bread loaves! Regarded as one of their signature bread, I went for the chocolate-flavoured semla bun - a soft bun filled with chocolatey creamy goodness!

The bun: SOOO soft and moist, it paired really well with the chocolate cream.
The cream: I thought it would be too "gelat" with the amount of cream pumped into the soft bun. On the contrary the cream was sooo good. Like the staff claimed, it tasted like a bun with ice cream. The taste of both bun and cream resembled the Gardenia cream-filled bread, but only better! Best served cold!

Cost: $7.90

One very uniquely constructed dessert!! It's so filling I suggest sharing it with 2-3 people!
The sweetness of the cookie dough soft serve pairs really well with the savoury doughnut. I can only compare this combination with the likes of fried mars ball! However, a few mouthful of it might just leave you requesting for another cup of water!

Price: $14-15

It was amazing! Easily one of the most fluffy pancakes you ever tasted! A must try!

Pancakes: So fluffy and buttery! It has superbly light texture to it, yet every mouthful is so rich!

Maple syrup: From your everyday market, the maple is a bit sweet for my liking but it goes really well with the buttery pancakes!

When I saw it at Compass Point: Kopitiam, we knew we had to order one to try because it is so affordable! We ordered the chocolate brownie version!

Shaved ice covered with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings: My Friend choked on the powder first thing, so I tried using the milk given to drench the mixture but it bounced off the powder! A tip is to soak a spoonful of the ice covered powder in the given milk before consumption! The slightly bitter chocolate shavings gave it an added texture and depth to the overall bite.

Brownie: It was a bit dry, but the milk helped made it a bit fudgier!

Located some distance away (walkable distance) from Parkway Parade, Birds of Paradise offers ice cream that combines your oh-so usual flavours like strawberry with floral elements! There's White Chrysanthemum, and others flavours mixed with figs.

I had the Pandan flavour and it was not as outstanding as the other floral flavours. Do check them out!

Price: Single scoop costs $4.70
